Hatboro Can Best Be Characterized as a Family-Oriented Community with a Strong Sense of Civic Pride.

Dozens of groups and organizations are committed to preserving the quality of life that makes Hatboro so special. Our most active organizations include the Greater Hatboro Chamber of Commerce, Main Street Hatboro, the Hatboro Rotary and the Hatboro Lion's Club.

The post office, town library, municipal building and train station are all located in or near the center of town, demonstrating a continued commitment to the vitality of Hatboro's business district.

Hatboro is a safe community, with a very low crime rate. Unlike malls and strip centers, we have our own police department that patrols round-the-clock to keep the streets safe and free from vandalism.

The community takes pride in the award-winning Blue Ribbon schools within its postal area. Two elementary schools are located right in Hatboro.

Hatboro's rich heritage is woven into the fabric of the community. Historic buildings have been preserved, and a monument erected in recognition of the Battle of Crooked Billet, fought in Hatboro during the Revolutionary War. The Old Firehouse in the center of town, now serves as the senior center for Hatboro.

The YMCA, Hatboro Little League, Scouting and the Hatboro Pool play an important role in Hatboro family life as do the numerous fraternal organizations and service groups who are active in town. And for the golf enthusiasts, there are close to a dozen golf courses located within a 5 mile drive from Hatboro.

In addition, residents and visitors alike enjoy year-round performances at Hatboro's own community theater, the Village Players, now in their 60th season.
